I posted here some time ago re: my 2004 4Runner, V8, 4WD (80K) ... I've got the same problem and figured I'd give it another shot. So far, dealership has been unable to crack this one ... any help would be appreciated.
When the wheels are turned hard (left or right), I've got a noise/vibration. it's not really a noise but a vibration. it's as though the engine is idling too low and ready to stall ... it's that sort of vibration. it can be felt through the floor, seat, and steering wheel but only when the wheel is turned pretty hard in one direction or another.
for a while, i thought it might be a bind ... the classic 4wd bind on dry pavement, but it really seems to be more of a vibration ... picture a manual transmission right before you stall it.
it's definitely related to the wheels moving. it won't do it at a standstill. i can crank the wheel all day and nothing happens if the wheels aren't rolling.
for a long time, it could only be felt in reverse ... in recent days i am beginning to feel when moving forward (u-turn or hard parking lot turn).
thanks for the help.
